mphuc-ga,
Thanks for your question.
I've listed below what strike me as the main, recent papers on this
topic. In addition to research on direct control, I've also included
some closely-related papers, such as the conditions under which M.
anisopliae can thrive in a termite nest.
Two key researchers in this field are Changlu Wang at Purdue and Alan
Lax at USDA...their contact information is included below.
I trust this is the information you needed. But if there is anything
else I can do for you, just let me know by posting a Request for
Clarification, and I am at your service.
